Association for Manufacturing Technology, formerly the National Machine Tool Builders Association (NMTB), creates machine tool design standards.
The NMTB laid down standards for machine tool design, among other things: the taper used on Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) milling machines. See Machine taper for a discussion of NMTB tapers.
Another function of the Association is to work with the manufacturers of CNC controllers such as Fanuc and Siemens to add or modify functions to make their machines more productive and therefore more salable.
The association organizes tradeshows to help sales of its members, most notably the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), which is held on even-numbered years at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
